    Roosevelt, believing Stalin was not serious

    The only reason to think Stalin was not being serious was that 50,000 to 100,000 would have been way too few for him.

        I’m not saying Stalin should have suggested any number at all. I’m pointing out the oddity of Stalin executing millions of his own people but only wanting 50,000 to 100,000 Germans executed.

          Stalin executing millions of his own people

          A claim used in Der Angriff to justify the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. Germans were the original “We will be greated as liberators” guys.

          Nice of you to have your Nazi propaganda memorized.
